Dictate or Type note to Obsidian Vault
This is the first shortcut I have ever made so it may not be the cleanest.
I needed a way to interact with obsidian without having to open the add, this menu based shortcut worked perfectly after a lot of troubleshooting.
This shortcut allows you to either dictate or type a new note, or append a dictation or text memo to an existing daily note.
The daily note created is with the Current Date variable formatted to yyyy-MM-dd. The limitation is that it will only append to the note of your current date, but this could also be changed to a static note if you’d prefer.
Just change the folder path name to the name of the note you want to direct it to and change the folder variables where ever they exist.
Let me know if you find a way to improve it or if you add your unique spin for your own use case!
